The Thai player demonstrated her composure with an extraordinary shot on the fifth playoff hole to secure the victory.\n\nKatsu, who was leading the competition, couldn&#8217;t maintain the lead despite a good performance. A birdie on the 17th hole was his only response to Thitikul&#8217;s comeback.\n\nThe playoff was a duel of nerves. After four holes, both players remained with pars. Katsu had two birdie opportunities that narrowly missed, before Thitikul took the lead with a brilliant approach.\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n\n<p>\u201cWhat happened at the last event is definitely still on my mind, but being able to prove myself again in this tournament is like a dream come true,\u201d stated Thitikul.<\/p>\n\n<cite>Jeeno Thitikul<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThis victory marks Thitikul&#8217;s second triumph of the season, after winning the Mizuho Americas Open in May, and serves as a relief after an unfortunate performance at the Kroger Queen City Championship.\n\nMinjee Lee, winner of her third major title at the Women&#8217;s PGA Championship, finished in third place. Jenny Bae, Miyu Yamashita, and Somi Lee tied for fourth place.\n\nThe Shanghai event is the first of five tournaments in Asia, opening a series of competitions in South Korea, Malaysia, and Japan.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeeno Thitikul Crowned Champion in Shanghai After Thrilling Playoff In a movie ending, Jeeno Thitikul overcame a four-stroke deficit to be crowned champion of the LPGA Shanghai, becoming the first player to win two LPGA tournaments this season.
